AND ALL THE ROSES THAT FADE FADE NOT

 

Except what is banished what banishes itself

Because from You we turn away

It’s all still there

the trees still dream their leaves

when the trees are bare

and we of memory in old age

would not divested be

when memory Is Him

and all the golden ways lit through Him

on our strangely meandering way

so have we come upon even in small ways

our own hints at alpha and omega

the starlight seen on childhood’s summer day

is still traveling to us by His grace conveyed

and all the roses that fade, fade not.
